Michael's health battle inspires new song

The former Wham! star was overwhelmed by the outpouring of support he received while fighting the potentially deadly lung condition in an Austrian hospital last November (11).

Now Michael reveals he has written a song, entitled White Light, to express thanks for the "unending kindness" shown by friends and fans.

In a series of posts on Twitter.com, he writes, "I've been a busy boy in the studio this week... and finally ready to write about what happened to me in Vienna. You may recall my reference to those strange individuals who took the time to pray for my death as I lay in my hospital bed back in November. Don't think I don't realise how many of you out there prayed for my recovery."

He added, "I thank you all from the deepest part of my soul. And I will repay your unending kindness the only way I know how. With music. Yesterday I began to write a song called White Light. It's for all of you, for everyone who prayed for me. And I promise you it's a blinder."
